Description

    FIELD OF THE INVENTION
  • The present invention relates to compounds that may be useful in the prophylaxis and/or treatment of fibrotic diseases, proliferative diseases, inflammatory diseases, autoimmune diseases, respiratory diseases, cardiovascular diseases, neurodegenerative diseases, dermatological disorders, pain, and/or abnormal angiogenesis associated diseases. In particular, the compound of the invention may inhibit autotaxin, also known as ectonucleotide pyrophosphatase/phosphodiesterase 2 (NPP2 or ENPP2). The present invention also provides methods for the production of the compound of the invention, pharmaceutical compositions comprising the compound of the invention, methods for the prophylaxis and/or treatment of fibrotic diseases, proliferative diseases, inflammatory diseases, autoimmune diseases, respiratory diseases, cardiovascular diseases, neurodegenerative diseases, dermatological disorders, pain, and/or abnormal angiogenesis associated diseases by administering the compounds of the invention.
    • BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
  • Autotaxin (ATX; also known as ENPP2 (ectonucleotide pyrophosphatase / phosphodiesterase 2) or lysophospholipase D) is a ∼120 kDa protein that belongs to the ENPP family of enzymes which is composed of seven members, out of which ENPP1 and ENPP3 are the closest to ATX. Whereas ENPP1 and ENPP3 are active in converting ATP into pyrophosphate (a regulator of mineralization and calcification processes in bone), ATX is the only ENPP enzyme with lysophospholipase D (lysoPLD) activity and is responsible for the hydrolysis of lysophosphatidylcholine (LPC) to produce the bioactive lipid lysophosphatidic acid (LPA). Several pieces of evidence have established ATX as the main source of LPA in blood. For example, blood LPA and ATX levels have been shown to be strongly correlated in humans. In addition, LPA levels are reduced by 50% in mice carrying a heterozygous null mutation of ATX (Tanaka et al. 2006).
  • Several physiological events playing a crucial role in a plethora of cellular functions, such as cell proliferation, survival, migration, and motility are promoted by LPA (Law et al. 2019). LPA binds to specific G-protein-coupled receptors (LPA1-6), resulting in the initiation and/or activation of specific cellular signaling cascades including calcium mobilization, activation of Ras, and extracellular-signal-regulated kinase (ERK) pathways participating in cell proliferation, activation of phosphoinositide 3 (P13)-protein kinase B (AKT) pathway which is among others responsible for apoptosis, and stimulation of Rho pathway involved in cell shape change and migration.
  • This autotaxin activity/LPA signaling has been linked to a variety of human pathologies such as cancer, chronic inflammation, cardiovascular disorders, Alzheimer's disease, fibroproliferative diseases, autoimmune diseases, and metabolic syndrome (Law et al. 2019; Matralis et al. 2019).
  • Compounds targeting the autotaxin/LPA axis have entered the clinic, for example GLPG1690 (Maher et al. 2019).
  • However, the current therapies are not satisfactory and therefore there remains a need to identify further compounds that may be of use in the treatment of fibrotic diseases, proliferative diseases, inflammatory diseases, autoimmune diseases, respiratory diseases, cardiovascular diseases, neurodegenerative diseases, dermatological disorders, pain, and/or abnormal angiogenesis associated diseases.
  • The present invention therefore provides compounds, methods for their manufacture and pharmaceutical compositions comprising a compound of the invention together with a suitable pharmaceutical carrier. The present invention also provides for the use of a compound of the invention in the preparation of a medicament for the treatment of fibrotic diseases, proliferative diseases, inflammatory diseases, autoimmune diseases, respiratory diseases, cardiovascular diseases, neurodegenerative diseases, dermatological disorders, pain, and/or abnormal angiogenesis associated diseases.
    • SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
  • The present invention relates to compounds that may be useful in the prophylaxis and/or treatment of fibrotic diseases, proliferative diseases, inflammatory diseases, autoimmune diseases, respiratory diseases, cardiovascular diseases, neurodegenerative diseases, dermatological disorders, pain, and/or abnormal angiogenesis associated diseases. In particular, the compound of the invention may inhibit autotaxin, also known as ectonucleotide pyrophosphatase/phosphodiesterase 2 (NPP2 or ENPP2). The present invention also provides methods for the production of the compound of the invention, pharmaceutical compositions comprising the compound of the invention, methods for the prophylaxis and/or treatment of fibrotic diseases, proliferative diseases, inflammatory diseases, autoimmune diseases, respiratory diseases, cardiovascular diseases, neurodegenerative diseases, dermatological disorders, pain, and/or abnormal angiogenesis associated diseases.by administering the compounds of the invention.

  • The present disclosure includes all isotopic forms of the compounds of the invention provided herein, whether in a form (i) wherein all atoms of a given atomic number have a mass number (or mixture of mass numbers) which predominates in nature (referred to herein as the "natural isotopic form") or (ii) wherein one or more atoms are replaced by atoms having the same atomic number, but a mass number different from the mass number of atoms which predominates in nature (referred to herein as an "unnatural variant isotopic form"). It is understood that an atom may naturally exists as a mixture of mass numbers. The term "unnatural variant isotopic form" also includes embodiments in which the proportion of an atom of given atomic number having a mass number found less commonly in nature (referred to herein as an "uncommon isotope") has been increased relative to that which is naturally occurring e.g. to the level of >20%, >50%, >75%, >90%, >95% or> 99% by number of the atoms of that atomic number (the latter embodiment referred to as an "isotopically enriched variant form"). The term "unnatural variant isotopic form" also includes embodiments in which the proportion of an uncommon isotope has been reduced relative to that which is naturally occurring. Isotopic forms may include radioactive forms (i.e. they incorporate radioisotopes) and non-radioactive forms. Radioactive forms will typically be isotopically enriched variant forms.
  • An unnatural variant isotopic form of a compound may thus contain one or more artificial or uncommon isotopes such as deuterium (2H or D), carbon-11 (11C), carbon-13 (13C), carbon-14 (14C), nitrogen-13 (13N), nitrogen-15 (15N), oxygen-15 (15O), oxygen-17 (17O), oxygen-18 (18O), phosphorus-32 (32P), sulphur-35 (35S), chlorine-36 (36Cl), chlorine-37 (37Cl), fluorine-18 (18F) iodine-123 (123I), iodine-125 (125I) in one or more atoms or may contain an increased proportion of said isotopes as compared with the proportion that predominates in nature in one or more atoms.
  • Unnatural variant isotopic forms comprising radioisotopes may, for example, be used for drug and/or substrate tissue distribution studies. The radioactive isotopes tritium, i.e. 3H, and carbon-14, i.e. 14C, are particularly useful for this purpose in view of their ease of incorporation and ready means of detection. Unnatural variant isotopic forms which incorporate deuterium i.e 2H or D may afford certain therapeutic advantages resulting from greater metabolic stability, for example, increased in vivo half-life or reduced dosage requirements, and hence may be preferred in some circumstances. Further, unnatural variant isotopic forms may be prepared which incorporate positron emitting isotopes, such as 11C, 18F, 150 and 13N, and would be useful in Positron Emission Topography (PET) studies for examining substrate receptor occupancy.
  • It is also to be understood that compounds that have the same molecular formula but differ in the nature or sequence of bonding of their atoms or the arrangement of their atoms in space are termed 'isomers'. Isomers that differ in the arrangement of their atoms in space are termed 'stereoisomers'.
  • Stereoisomers that are not mirror images of one another are termed 'diastereomers' and those that are non-superimposable mirror images of each other are termed 'enantiomers'. When a compound has an asymmetric center, for example, it is bonded to four different groups, a pair of enantiomers is possible. An enantiomer can be characterized by the absolute configuration of its asymmetric center and is described by the R- and S-sequencing rules of Cahn and Prelog, or by the manner in which the molecule rotates the plane of polarized light and designated as dextrorotatory or levorotatory (i.e. as (+) or (-)-isomers respectively). A chiral compound can exist as either individual enantiomer or as a mixture thereof. A mixture containing equal proportions of the enantiomers is called a 'racemic mixture'.
  • 'Tautomers' refer to compounds that are interchangeable forms of a particular compound structure, and that vary in the displacement of hydrogen atoms and electrons. Thus, two structures may be in equilibrium through the movement of π electrons and an atom (usually H). For example, enols and ketones are tautomers because they are rapidly interconverted by treatment with either acid or base. Another example of tautomerism is the aci- and nitro- forms of phenylnitromethane, that are likewise formed by treatment with acid or base.
  • Tautomeric forms may be relevant to the attainment of the optimal chemical reactivity and biological activity of a compound of interest.
  • The compounds of the invention may possess one or more asymmetric centers; such compounds can therefore be produced as individual (R)- or (S)- stereoisomers or as mixtures thereof.
  • Unless indicated otherwise, the description or naming of a particular compound in the specification and claims is intended to include both individual enantiomers and mixtures, racemic or otherwise, thereof. The methods for the determination of stereochemistry and the separation of stereoisomers are well-known in the art.
  • It will be appreciated that compounds of the invention may be metabolized to yield biologically active metabolites.

    • BIOLOGICAL EXAMPLES Example 2. In vitro assays 2.1. Human ENPP2 (hENPP2) assay
  • The principle of the assay conswasts in quantifying the released choline with an enzymatic method using choline oxidase and peroxidase. Choline oxydation by choline oxydase releases betaine and peroxide. The latter was quantified in presence of HRP that converts the peroxide detection agent TOOS (CAS# 82692-93-1) and 4-aminoantipyrine into quinoneimine dye. The appearance of quinoneimine dye was measured spectrophotometrically at 555 nm and was proportional to the amount of choline released by ENPP2. Inhibition of ENPP2 results in a decrease of the signal.
  • Compound IC50 values were determined in a hENPP2 (UniProtKB/SwwassProt Sequence ref Q13822) biochemical assay using LPC as substrate.
  • 5 µL of a dilution series of compound, starting from 50 µM highest concentration, 1/3 dilution, was added to the wells. hENPP2 was used at a final concentration of 1 µg/mL or 3 µg/mL (it will be appreciated by the skilled person that the potency read out was independent of the enzyme concentration). The enzyme was diluted in 50 mM Trwas-HCl pH 8.5, 500 mM NaCl, 5 mM KCl, 10 mM CaCl2, 0.1% fatty acid free BSA in a total volume of 10 µL. The reaction was started by the addition of 10 µL of 150 µM LPC (palmitoyl 16:0; Avanti Polar Lipids, Inc., Cat# 855675) diluted in the same buffer as described above and the mixture was incubated at 37°C for 30 min. The reaction was terminated and choline quantified by the addition of a 25 µL of a mixture containing 0.6 U/mL of choline oxidase, 0.6 U/mL of peroxydase, 1.8 mM TOOS, 1.2 mM amino-antipyrine, 20 mM EGTA (stop-developer solution) diluted in the buffer described above. Luminescence was read on an Envision plate reader (PerkinElmer, Inc.) after an incubation of 30 min at room temperature (excitation 555 nm).

Compounds were diluted in DMSO in concentration dependent manner then 0.5 µL were dispensed into 96-well plate placed in ice. Plasma was defrosted on ice then 49.5 µL of plasma were added into the well containing 0.5 µL of compound (1% DMSO final). Plates were covered with a polypropylene lid and incubated at 37°C, 5% CO2, for 2 h under gentle shaking (except controls which were stored at -20°C).
  • At the end of the incubation, controls were defrosted in ice and transferred in the incubated plates for LC-MS/MS analysis. For the analysis, plasma proteins from a 10 µL incubated plates were precipitated with an excess of methanol containing the internal standard, LPA 17:0 (Avanti Polar Lipids, Inc., Cat# 857127). After centrifugation, the corresponding supernatant was injected on a C18 column. Analytes were eluted out of the column under isocratic conditions. An API5500 QTRAP mass spectrometer (ABSciex™) was used for the detection of LPA 18:2. Relative quantities were evaluated based on the peak area.

    • Example 4. In vivo assays 4.1. Bleomycin (BLM) model 4.1.1. Study description
  • The murine bleomycin induced pulmonary fibrosis model is a widely used standard animal model of pulmonary fibrosis (Walters & Kleeberger 2001). Bleomycin administration results in oxidative stress and acute inflammation with the subsequent onset of pulmonary fibrosis. Epithelial cell injury with reactive hyperplasia, basement membrane damage, clusters of spindle-shaped mesenchymal cells resembling fibroblastic foci, and interstitial as well as intra-alveolar fibrosis are histological characteristics of the bleomycin model similar to those of IPF.
    • 4.1.2. Protocol
  • For the purpose of the induction of pulmonary fibrosis 8 weeks old C57BL/6 mice with an average weight of ∼25 g randomly grouped in experimental groups were used.
  • In the model, fibrosis was induced by a single intranasal (i.n) administration of bleomycin at a dose of about 1 mg/kg (volume of 50 µL/mouse) on Day 1, and the duration of the experiment was 21 days post challenge.
  • Vehicle solutions were prepared as follows:
    • For MC 0.5%, by adding 2.5 g of carboxymethyl cellulose into 500 mL Aqua distillate (0.5%)
    • For 0.1% Natrosol, by dissolving 0.1 g of hydroxyethylcellulose (Natrosol) in 100 mL of purified water
  • The Sham group received Phosphate buffered saline (PBS) dissolved in the vehicle solution.
  • Nintedanib (CAS#656247-15-5) formulation was prepared daily in a 0.1% Natrosol solution to a final concentration of 6 mg/mL giving a dose of 60 mg/kg. Formulations was vortexed and placed in an ultrasonic bath for approximately 5 min, then was administered p.o. with about 7.5 h interval between two administrations. Prior to dosing, animals were weighed and the amount administered adjusted according to individual weights.
  • Pre-weighed amounts of test compounds were dissolved in PEG 400/0.5 % MC (20/80, v/v). The formulation was prepared by weighing the test compound and then adding the required volume of firstly PEG, vortexed, and then 0.5% MC to full volume. Formulations were vortexed and placed in an ultrasonic bath for approximately 5 min. Prior to dosing, animals were weighed and the amount administered adjusted according to individual weights. The formulation was administered twice daily (b.i.d.) per os (p.o.) from Day 7 to Day 21 as described below:with about 7.5 h interval between two administrations. Table VIII. Study group overview

  • Body weight and clinical signs were monitored throughout the experiment.
  • The main read-outs in the model were:
    • Blood for PK analysis
    • Body weight
    • Lung weight
    • Histopathological examination of lung tissue
    • Ashcroft score on slides stained for collagen with Crossman's trichrome, as well as evaluation of collagen deposition using digital image analysis (CaloPix software, TRIBVN Healthcare, France) on collagen-1A1 stained slides (immunohistochemistry, IHC) (Ashcroft et al. 1988; Hübner et al. 2008; Matsuse et al. 1999).
    Table IX. Ashcroft scoring
    Score Score description
    1 Normal lungs (no fibrosis)
    2 Minimal fibrotic thickening of alveolar or bronchial walls (network of fine collagen fibrils)
    3 Moderate fibrotic thickening of walls without obvious damage to lung architecture
    4 Fibrosis with damage of pulmonary structure (coarse fibrous bands or small fibrous masses, intra-alveolar collagen fibrils)
    5 Large fibrous area with severe distortion of lung structure
    4.1.3. Statistical analysis
  • Data were processed using MS Excel. Statistical analysis and graphical presentation were performed using GraphPad Prism software (version 5.04). One-way ANOVA was employed. Additionally, Mann-Whitney test for comparison of two data sets was applied. Differences between groups were considered statistically significant when p<0.05.
    • 4.1.4. Results
  • When subjected to this assay, mice treated with illustrative Cpd 115 showed a significantly decrease in Ashcroft score at both doses in comparison to vehicle treated group (*p<0.05 vs. BLM/vehicle control; Mann-Whitney t-test).
    • 4.2. Radiation induced fibrosis mice model 4.2.1. Study overview
  • Pneumonitis and lung fibrosis are the major radiation-induced complications following thoracic radiotherapy, which is one of the major treatment of lung and breast cancers, lymphomas and hematopoietic transplant conditioning.
  • The objective of this model is to evaluate the effect of a compound of the invention in lung fibrosis induced by radiation in mice (Bickelhaupt et al. 2017).
    • 4.2.2. Animals
  • 7 weeks old (18/22 gr) female C57BL/6J albinos mice from Charles River (France) are maintained on 12 h light/dark cycle at 22°C with ad libitum access to tap water and food.
    • 4.2.3. Materials
  • The test compounds are dissolved/suspended in appropriate vehicle prior to using and the kept light-free, under agitation at room temperature.
  • An aliquot of the formulation (approx. 200 µL) is frozen at T0 (day of preparation) and all the formulations are checked (daily) for any change in aspect.
  • The dose volume administered is 10 mL/kg and the volume is adapted following mean (body weight (BW) of the group as follows: 200 µL if mean BW < 22.5 g, 250 µL if mean BW ≥ 22.5 g; 300 µL if mean BW > 27.5 g.
    • 4.2.4. In vivo experimental procedure
  • On day 1 of week 1, the animals are exposed at the thorax to a 17 Gray irradiation dose, under isoflurane anesthesia.
  • At the beginning of week 18 post irradiation (Day 1), animals are randomized into 6 study groups (15 subjects per group) 1) sham (vehicle: methylcellulose (MC) 0.5%), 2) diseased (vehicle: methylcellulose (MC) 0.5%), 3) positive control (nintedanib dosed 60 mg/kg in 0.1% Natrosol (hydroxyethylcellulose)), and 4) test compound (dissolved in 0.1% Natrosol), and dosed p.o. q.d until Day 23.
  • Body weight are recorded once a week, and on Day 23, lung function measurement under anesthesia is realized by Flexivent (Devos et al. 2017) for all groups (6 successful measurements per group) before sacrifice.
  • Collagen I deposition - a fibrosis marker - is analysed by immunohistochemistry using lung section staining and the percentage of collagen positive area is determined for each animal lung section (Lomas et al. 2012; Martin et al. 1992).

  • This inflammation driven fibrosis model reproduces the rapidly progressing diffuse cutaneous systemic scleroderma (SSc) observed in patients, and is used to evaluate the effect of the compounds of the invention on the pathology (Chen et al. 2017).
  • In this model, fibrosis is induced in BALB/c (H-2d) mice by allogeneic transplantation of bone marrow cells and splenocytes from B10.D2 (H-2d) donor mice (minor HLA mismatch).
    • 4.3.2. Animals
  • BALB/c (H-2d) mice are purchased from Janvier Labs (Le Genest-Saint-Isle, France).
  • B10.D2 (H-2d) mice are purchased from Jackson Laboratory (Bar Harbor, ME, USA).
  • All mice are maintained in specific pathogen-free conditions with sterile pellet food and water and a normal day-night cycle.
    • 4.3.3. Study protocol
  • Transplantation of tibial and femoral bone marrow cells and splenocytes is performed as follows: 8-weeks old mice (BALB/c (H-2d)) receives total body irradiation with 700 cGy. Six h after irradiation, all BALB/c (H-2d) recipients receive bone marrow from either BALB/c (H-2d) in a syngeneic or B10.D2 (H-2d) in an allogeneic transplantation manner. For transplantation, 5 x 106 splenocytes and 1 x 106 bone marrow cells from donor mice are resuspended in 0.2 mL of PBS and injected via tail veins.
  • Treatment is started 21 days after bone marrow transplantation and thus several days after the first clinically detectable manifestations of cGvHD in allogeneically transplanted mice.
  • The following study groups are made:
    • Syngeneically transplanted, placebo-treated control group
      Syngeneic bone marrow and splenocyte transplantation (BALB/c (H-2d) → BALB/c (H-2d)). Application of the vehicle from day 21 to day 56 post-transplantation.
    • Placebo-treated fibrosis group
      Allogeneic bone marrow and splenocyte transplantation (B10.D2 (H-2d) → BALB/c (H-2d)). Application of the vehicle from day 21 to day 56 post-transplantation.
    • Control group to assess pretreatment change induced by allogeneic transplantation
      Allogeneic bone marrow and splenocyte transplantation (B10.D2 (H-2d) → BALB/c (H-2d)). Sacrifice at day 21, before treatment is initiated in the control groups.
    • Treatment group 1
      Allogeneic bone marrow and splenocyte transplantation (B10.D2 (H-2d) → BALB/c (H-2d)). Application of low doses of test compound (10 mg/kg/bid p.o.) from day 21 to day 56 post transplantation.
    • Treatment group 2
      Allogeneic bone marrow and splenocyte transplantation (B10.D2 (H-2d) → BALB/c (H-2d)). Application of high doses of test compound (30 mg/kg/ bid p.o.) from day 21 to day 56 post transplantation.
    • Positive control group:
      Allogeneic bone marrow and splenocyte transplantation (B10.D2 (H-2d) → BALB/c (H-2d)). Application of 60 mg/kg qd nintedanib from day 21 to day 56 post transplantation.
    4.3.4. Histological evaluation of skin fibrosis
  • Skin samples are fixed in 4 % formalin for 6 h and embedded in paraffin. 5 µm sections are cut and stained with hematoxylin and eosin, with Trichrome or with Sirius Red.
  • The dermal thickness is measured at 100-fold magnification by measuring the distance between the epidermal-dermal junction and the dermal-subcutaneous fat junction at four sites oer mouse. As for other readouts, the analyses are performed in a blinded manner.
    • 4.3.5. Detection of myofibroblasts
  • Myofibroblasts are characterized by the expression of α-smooth muscle actin (αSMA). Fibroblasts positive for αSMA are detected by incubation with monoclonal anti-aSMA antibodies (clone 1A4, Sigma-Aldrich, Steinheim, Germany). The expression is visualized with horseradish peroxidase labeled secondary antibodies and 3,3-diaminobenzidine tetrahydrochloride (DAB) (Sigma-Aldrich). Monoclonal mouse IgG antibodies (Calbiochem, San Diego, CA, USA) are used for controls.
    • 4.3.6. Hydroxyproline assay
  • The amount of collagen protein in skin samples is determined via hydroxyproline assay. After digestion of punch biopsies (∅ 3 mm) in 6 M HCl for three h at 120°C, the pH of the samples is adjusted to 6 with 6 M sodium hydroxide (NaOH). Afterwards, 0.06 M chloramine T is added to each sample and incubated for 20 min at room temperature. Next, 3.15 M perchloric acid and 20 % p-dimethylaminobenzaldehyde are added and samples are incubated for additional 20 min at 60°C. The absorbance is determined at 557 nm with a Spectra MAX 190 microplate spectrophotometer.
    • 4.3.7. Clinical score of cutaneous cGvHD
  • Recipient mice are clinically monitored once daily from the day of transplantation to the indicated days after transplantation to determine the incidence and severity of cutaneous cGvHD as well as mobility, diarrhea and weight loss. The following scoring system for cutaneous cGvHD is used: healthy appearance = 0; skin lesions with alopecia < 1 cm2 in area = 1; skin lesions with alopecia 1 - 2 cm2 in area = 2; skin lesions with alopecia > 2 cm2 in area = 3. Incidence is expressed as the percentage of mice that showed clinical manifestations.
    • 4.3.8. Statistics
  • All data are presented as mean ± SD, and differences between the groups are tested for their statistical significance by paired student t-tests for related samples and Mann-Whitney U non-parametric test for non-related samples. P-values less than 0.05 are considered significant. P-values are expressed as follows: 0.05 > p > 0.01 as *; 0.01 > p > 0.001 as **; p < 0.001 as ***.
    • 4.4. Rat Pain Model 4.4.1. Principle of the assay
  • The neuropathic pain rat model originally established by Seltzer et al. (Seltzer et al. 1990) is used to evaluate the effect of a test compound against tactile allodynia and contingent thermal hyperalgesia caused by partial sciatic nerve injury (PSNL) induced by sciatic nerve partial ligature.
  • The test compounds are administered to the treatment groups on a daily basis, starting from post-surgical day 3 (D3), and continued until the end point day on D15.
  • Gabapentin is used as a positive control. The effect in vivo of the test compounds, vehicle, and gabapentin on neuropathy are tested by a set of three tests: 1) 10 g von Frey filament test (10 g vF), 2) Hargreave's Plantar test, and 3) electronic von Frey test (evF).
    • 4.4.2. Animals
  • Male Sprague-Dawley rats (250-300 g) were housed at 22 ± 1°C and in light-controlled environment (lights on from 7 am to 8 pm) with ad libitum access to food and water.
    • 4.4.3. Protocol
  • Treatments were commenced on day 3 post PSNL (D3), and continued until the study end on D15. In addition to the baseline (pre-surgery) tests, all tests were executed on D3, D7, and D14.
  • On the test days, pre-dose allodynia was evaluated prior to dosings, and the effects of the administered compounds assessed 2 hours post dosing. On D10, plasma samples were taken from the rats receiving the test compound - Vehicle for pharmacokinetic assays. Sampling was performed prior to dosing, and subsequently 1, 3, and 6 hours post dosing.
  • The negative control group (n=15) is dosed daily q.d. with the vehicle (methyl cellulose, 0.5%, PEG 400, 0.9% saline), the positive control group (n=15) is dosed i.p. on D3, D7 and D14 with gabapentin (50 mg/kg), and the test compound group (n=15) is dosed daily p.o. b.i.d. (10 mg/kg).
    • 4.4.4. Tactile allodynia -von Frey tests
  • Two von Frey test approaches are used to assess the congenital (referred to as baseline) tactile allodynia levels of the animals. In order to avoid false sensitization in the test results, the rats are subjected to a sufficient habituation period and two handling procedures prior to all baseline tests. In addition, the baseline von Frey tests take place at maximum of 2 days prior to the surgery.
  • In each test, the hind paw ipsilateral to the injury (left) is tested for each rat.
  • In the manual test approach (10 g vF), a pre-calibrated 10 g von Frey hair was used to exert five repeats of filament presentations. A minimum of three minutes interval gapped the repeated measurements. The results were recorded as percentages of positive reactions within five repeats of filament presentations. Similarly with the traditional vF, the baseline electronic von Frey test (evF) was carried out following the handling procedures, to evaluate the levels of congenital mechanical allodynia. The tests were executed by the evF equipment according to the manufacturer's instructions. The stimuli were yielded using a 0.2 mm diameter tip, by increasing the applied force linearly at a rate of 10 g/s, in 20 s of total measurement time. The actual force application was monitored in real time to ensure its linearity and thus the proper performance of the test in each measurement. The peak force (g), i.e. the lowest force evoking paw withdrawal was recorded, and the absolute paw withdrawal thresholds (PWTs) calculated as medians of triplicate measurements. A minimum of three minutes interval was used to separate the consecutive stimulus repeats to the same paw.
    • 4.4.5. Heat hyperalgesia assessments (plantar test)
  • The potential hyperalgesia to heat stimulus in the ipsilateral paw was tested by the plantar test.
  • The contingency of heat hyperalgesia due to PSNL injury was assessed on the test days 2 hours post dosing. Animals were placed into acrylic test chambers standing on a glass pane. Following a short adaptation period, an infrared (IR) beam of the apparatus was directed onto the mid-plantar surface of the hind paw.
  • The beam was set to yield an IR intensity of 190 mW/cm2. The paw withdrawal latencies were recorded and measured three times per paw, with a minimum of 5 minutes interval between the repeats. Minimum and maximum cut-off latencies were preset at 1 and 30 seconds, respectively.
    • 4.4.6. Results
  • When dosed at 10 mg/kg p.o. bid, compound 115 showed a statistically significant reduction of allodynia and heat hyperalgesia.
    • 4.5. LPS induced lung inflammation model 4.5.1. Overview
  • The aim of the assay is to assess the effect of a test compound in a mouse model of acute lung inflammation induced by intranasal instillation of LPS. The impact on the induced cells recruitment in lung is evaluated by measurement of white cells count in broncho-alveolar lavage (BAL) fluid.
    • 4.5.2. Protocol
  • The animals (BALB/c J mice, 18-20 g) are obtained from Harlan Laboratories (Maison-Alfort, France). The animals are maintained on 12 hours light/dark cycle at 22°C with ad libitum access to tap water and food. Litters are changed twice a week. For each tested compound, a group of 10 subjects is used. In addition to the test compound-treated groups, a vehicle+LPS control group (inLPS), a non-treated group (intact), and a positive control dexamethasone treated group (DEX) are used.
  • LPS is dissolved in saline solution in order to obtain a final 10 µg/50 µL solution for intranasal instillation, and administered at 50 µL / mouse by intranasal instillation.
  • The test compounds are prepared in 15 mL PEG200 (9 mL) / H2O (6 mL) to be dosed in a range of 0.3, 1, 3, 10, and 30 mg/kg, and then kept at room temperature in the dark, and are administered once (qd) or twice daily (bid) over 2 days.
  • Dexamethasone (10 mg/kg, bid, po) is used as a positive control.
  • On day 1, mice are anaesthetized by isoflurane inhalation. During breathing, LPS solution is instilled intra-nasally and mice are monitored until complete recovery from anesthesia.
  • On day 2, mice are anaesthetized by intra-peritoneal injection (under a volume of 10 mL/kg) of anaesthetic solution (18 mL NaCl 0.9% + 0.5 mL xylazine (5 mg/kg) + 1.5 mL ketamine (75 mg/kg)).
  • The trachea is cannulated with a catheter, and BAL is performed by 2 × 0.75 mL sterile PBS. The BAL fluid removed is shaken gently at room temperature before centrifugation at 1500 rpm during 10 min at 4°C.
  • The supernatant is removed and the cell pellet is suspended in 200 µL of PBS, kept on ice and total cell count is processed by hematologie analysis. Finally, mice are sacrificed under anesthesia.
    • 4.5.3. Data analysis
  • For each readout, mean and sem are calculated. A difference statistically significant between intact or treated groups and in LPS Vehicle group is evaluated with Prism software using a one-way ANOVA (for treatment groups) followed by a Dunnett's multiple comparisons post-hoc test. *: p < 0.05; **: p < 0.01; ***: p < 0.001 versus LPS Vehicle group.
